Real Madrid hovering as Juventus expect interest in striker Alvaro Morata

Juventus sporting director Giuseppe Marotta rates the chances of forward Alvaro Morata staying with the club this summer at 50-50.

The 23-year-old Spain striker remains highly-coveted by several clubs after scoring 11 times this season to win his second Serie A title with Juventus.

However, Real Madrid retain a buy-back option as part of the 20million euro deal which saw him leave Spain in 2014, and there has been speculation that the La Liga giants could exercise this and then sell him on for a profit.

Marotta, speaking to Sky Sports Italia, said: "We'll have to meet with Real Madrid, but at the moment they are busy preparing for the final of the Champions League. We'll talk after the final. Will he stay? There is a 50 per cent chance."

Marotta also denied he would seek to include Isco in any talks regarding Morata.

"He will not come, we will discuss Morata with Real, but the months ahead are long," Marotta said.
